Tent peg and cable spike for hard ground (Glow In The Dark)

cults3d

I was searching for some reliable tent pegs for tough terrain and discovered that they consist of a durable steel spike or nail coupled with a versatile plastic top. I decided to create my own by utilizing one of my existing tent pegs as a starting point for the head. You can find the design online at http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:135548. I manufactured mine using glow-in-the-dark PLA and employed 6mm x 150mm round wire nails from Screwfix, which cost £3.59 per kilogram, yielding approximately 30 nails. You can purchase these at http://www.screwfix.com/p/round-wire-bright-nails-6-00-x-150mm-1kg-pack/13869. These are standard nail sizes in the UK and may be more affordable elsewhere. Each head weighs about 6 grams, totaling 180 grams for a set of 30. Given a plastic cost of £20 per kilogram, the estimated total expense is approximately £7.20 for a set. Feel free to modify or print these pegs as you see fit; however, please refrain from selling them commercially. I'm planning an upcoming camping trip and will put my new pegs to the test soon, but given England's unpredictable weather, I might end up using my existing pegs designed for softer terrain.
